This baby shower game is hilarious. Word to the wise hostess: use cautiously, and with the right crowd! A family shower would definitely not jive with this idea. But a close-knit shower with goofy friends or even a co-ed shower with couples who know each other well would be perfect.
- Download and print the printable below on cardstock.
- Cut each sheet in half.
- Each guest gets a game card and writes where they think the baby was conceived.
- Hand the cards in and have mom-to-be (or couple) read off the guesses.
- She then chooses a winner at her own discretion – either one that’s closest to the truth or one that makes her laugh the hardest. Her choice!
Winner gets a prize and everyone gets a laugh! Enjoy – but remember, don’t play this game with grandma!
How does Marabou support women?
We live in culture where “bouncing back” is more valued than proper rest. As admirable as it may be for a sports star to get back on the field, the same rules don’t apply to postpartum recovery. The traditional resting period has been stolen from women through pressure to get back to their job or simply through lack of presence.
Grandmas, sisters and best friends who otherwise would have been there to help a woman transition into motherhood often live too far away to be of any help. Household chores and caring for older children inevitably fall on the mom. But she just delivered a new life! She needs rest.
Marabou Services is a unique gift registry which provides services instead of stuff. Most mom’s get too many onesies, too many baby blankets and not enough helping hands. Break out of a destructive cultural norm and start a Marabou registry today.
With a Marabou registry you can sing up for any service which will benefit you or someone you know during the postpartum recovery period.
Postpartum doulas for a first time mom
House cleanings for moms of multiples
Childcare for moms with older children!
Once your registry is created, add it to any other registry or post it to your Facebook and ask friends and family contribute to your postpartum service, rather than buying you more stuff.
More and more moms find they have to figure out postpartum alone. Is it any wonder why PMDs are on the rise? Or women are embittered by the journey of motherhood? We can change that by giving the gift of peace.
